Do you no know somebody is going to put the iPad mini screen in an Android tablet, it will happen within 1 year. Apple's cinema display/tablet screens always find a way to show up in off brand products. Are you going to buy one then? If you do, go ahead a write it down now because I am going to bookmark your post and come back and call you bullshit soon.

yes if it's the same and has great specs at a desirable price, and of course runs stock android then yes I would heavily consider it. Obviously there's many variables. I'm not going to buy some shitty chinese knockoff. I have standards. I also have to have money at the time.
In the end I'd probably not get it so I can keep my iOS/Android phone combo going. But I'd want it. If it were cheap I'd buy it anyway and use both lulzz. One for bathroom one for everywhere else.
i even disagree with the 4:3 comment, because with a screen that small on a consumption device, i'd much rather have a longer screen for browsing websites. 10" ... definitely 4:3, 7" .. not so much
This. Cut some bezel on the 7 and its perfect.
Much preferred websites on the mini ratio, way too much zooming and panning for fitment on websites on the n7.
I don't watch enough videos on this thing worry about movies and shows having black bars. Yhat's what my awesome Google TV is for anyways.

i use the n10 in portrait, it is ridiculously long, but i think i like that. also weight distribution doesn't really allow for you to use it like that without thinking, "this is the incorrect way to hold this tablet" but physically i have the strength of like 10 bears so...yeah.

Bullshit. I always go through with my statements. I am not buying another non Nexus device. The Note experience soured me on ROMs. They're always half assed. Get me an iPad mini sized Nexus and I will buy it. Bookmark it.
Go look at the 27" monitor thread. I bought two.

Then I'll never buy one. That doesn't mean the iPad aspect ratio isn't superior. For me, anyway. That goes double for the Mini's dimensions. The screen looks roomier than the Nexus 7.
When I pair up devices to Youtube I can type in whatever name for the device I want.
That also adds a third entry to the list, which is kinda lame.
Able remote pulls the device name when searching for gtvs, why don't any of the google apps? Not even the google tv remote apps pulls the name.

Where's the multitasking? Don't tell me they're gonna make you hold down the home button only to see that still-horrendous Sense app switcher.

I don't. I can't even possibly think of a more obnoxious widget than the one there lol.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It looks really slabish which IMO isn't a good thing. Also that homescreen looks way to busy to me.
EDIT: I thought iPhone 5 as well though I didn't initial post that.

obviously you activate multitasking by pressing the High Tech Computers button.
i have the Facebook app installed, but i don't 'sync' anything Facebook with anything else.
Yeah but Facebook pay HTC/etc to put those crap on the phone, just like the junkware that comes with your windows PC.
You meant the Verizon button on your Verizon hTC One.

My god that looks terrible. Why take away the multitasking button? I mean what is the justification with fucking around with the buttons like that?
Also, with the new blackberry, seems to be a small trend to put manufacture logo on the bottom rather than top of the phone. Don't know if I like that.

I dunno, I kinda like the retro-ish design. Not the best looking phone ever by far, but not that bad I'd say.
I'm easy to impress though.

You know I just realised, it looks a lot like (the same as?) the white BB Z10:

They used their metro team to design the weather icons. Everything is ruined.

HTC want to survive? Make a stock non-Nexus device. For once.
Why aren't they even trying to do that? They've done a lot of crap phones before that I don't see them trying to do a stock Android device as a lose anymore.

Also then inexplicably added gradients to it.
Also also, lol at how those tiles will look when people upload images at different aspect ratios.
Sense can't handle multi tasking anyways.
So is it the general consensus that the Note II is the God-tier phone?
I was going to wait for the GSIV, but I don't think I can hold off any longer. The power button on my original DINC is broken, and it requires fiddling with the motherboard to turn the phone back on.
I'm particularly curious about the size. Anybody go from a < 4" phone to a Note II — how is it?

Didn't HTC have a windows phone with speakers on the front as well?

i went from a 4" phone to a Galaxy Note II and love it.
maybe they heard customers like me saying that wasting screen space for permanent buttons sucks.

I don't even HATE capacitive buttons that much but it does mean bigger devices which sucks. Also why does samsung still have a menu button for gadssss sake.
The Faceless Master
Member
remember the HTC One X?
yeah, Samsung won. and it wasn't even HTC's fault! they did things the 'right' way...
they can run apps made for Gingerbread... apps with menu buttons... or ugly menu borders... see also: High Tech Computer Corporation circa 2012
Well it was their fault that they didn't market it properly
Devs still target legacy devices.

Hope they get rid of it on the S4. I'd rather have a multi tasking button rather than long pressing anything.

No more "buttons" though please. Capacitive buttons are much better.
